Limbaugh: The Truth About Clinton’s Health Shrouded In Quest For Power

Power and control are at the root of the shroud of secrecy that is being swiftly and firmly pulled down around Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s health issues, talk show host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday.

” … the poor woman has something seriously the matter,” said Limbaugh, who well before former President Bill Clinton said Monday his wife had similar episodes in the past had predicted that they would exist.

“And they are subordinating all of that. They are subordinating her health — and she may be in on the decision, too. But everybody involved here is subordinating her health to the larger issue, which is the acquisition of power. Not just the presidency. It’s not just winning the election. It’s what it means. It’s the acquisition of power,” Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh said the first casualty in this war for power was the truth about what happened to Clinton on Sunday.

“They’ve got a woman that practically fainted and collapsed and had a seizure, who was unable to get into a van by herself. They made a calculated decision to make her health secondary to other concerns,” he said.

Limbaugh said the fact that Clinton did not go to an emergency room is important in the wider narrative of the episode and its place in the campaign.

“They didn’t go to the ER because they don’t trust the doctors there. Somebody in there, they think, would talk. Talk about what? If all she’s got is pneumonia, what do they have to talk about? So there’s clearly more than pneumonia,” he said.

“It’s worse than pneumonia, and the way you know that is how easily the media talks about it,” he said. “They’re talking about pneumonia like it’s the common cold. ‘Oh, yeah, everybody gets it! Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You gotta be hydrated!'”

Limbaugh said the episode is causing Richter-scale sized jitters for the Democrats as the campaign nears the homestretch with three debates to go..

“The truth of the matter is, they are panicking on the Democrat side. They don’t know what’s going on with her, many of them don’t. They are quaking in their boots because they can’t predict these episodes, these incidents, whatever they are,” he said.

If they could, he said, Clinton never would have gone to the 9/11 ceremony.

“They can’t predict. And that means they can’t control it, not with medication. They can’t control whatever it is that’s wrong with her,” Limbaugh said.

He continued, “And the fact that they can’t predict these episodes and they can’t stop them when they happen — like the four-and-half-minute coughing spasm episode in Cleveland — that means they’re gonna be quaking in their boots every time they send her out, including when the debates come up.”
